billcoe Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Tex, great list, some to add, Sunshine, Moonshine, Trezlar, Cinnamon Slab, West Face of Monkee Face, Superman, Spiderman, Free lunch the upper like 3 pitches of the 5 pitches are great cracks, and especially Kunza Korner. Quote
specialed Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 The gorge area is not the only trad area at smith. Why anyone would drive to Smith to climb basalt is beyond me. Maybe b/c its the best basalt outside of Paradise Forks. Its also the least crowded and best place to climb at Smiff as far as I'm concerned. Nevertheless, with so much fun shit to do in the northwest, Smiff is nothing more than an occasional distraction Quote
Scourge Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I just love that smell at Smith in the morning. Quote
badvoodoo Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I just love that smell at Smith in the morning. Smells like.... bat guano. Quote
SnowByrd Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 yeah...but i wanna climb steep mud crimps...w/ prana tawps around... hey hey hey...u makin fun of us again? leave the muddy crumpies alone besides...it'd take at least 4 Prana Tawps to fit round your girth wouldn't it? Quote
iain Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 pay no attention to these jaded folk here SnowByrd. If you are new to climbing and have not been to Smith Rock, make sure you make a trip in the fall. You will love it, I guarantee. Quote
selkirk Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Must agree with Iain, Smiffy ! Regardless of level there's good climbing to be had and lots of it! Quote
Greg_W Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 That's pretty. Where is it? Has anyone thought about looking into climbing there? Quote
Greg_W Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 That's pretty. Where is it? Renton Bullshit. Everyone knows that Renton only has nice, high-quality granite. Some have called it "sweet". Quote
RuMR Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 yeah...but i wanna climb steep mud crimps...w/ prana tawps around... hey hey hey...u makin fun of us again? leave the muddy crumpies alone besides...it'd take at least 4 Prana Tawps to fit round your girth wouldn't it? no way...not poking fun...smith is comprised of compressed peanut butter and is the land of the prana tawp clad hottie...its hottie central oh, and by the way...it only takes 3 prana tops to span my girth ...and i'm cutting weight as we speak....

Distel32 Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 little crimpers and tweaky pockets.....psyched! Quote
RuMR Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 ohyeah...hard stuff is going down this fall... Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Huh? Did somebody say OXYGEN? Bring it! Let's hear it for: - juniper treez - volcanic dust on hands and ropes - sore knuckles and toes - crisp, clear weather - din-din at Mazatlan or the Brewhouse - sussing, sieging, and sending those projex - etc., etc., etc. Quote
RuMR Posted August 12, 2004 Author Posted August 12, 2004 time to send when the belayer is in a down jacket! Quote
Distel32 Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 fuck you guys man! now I'm all jazzed up.....the redpoint list is very long this year...... my gas funds will dwindle, my tendons will be tweaked and my muscles will need to get larger......I can't wait Quote
billcoe Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 (No point really, just trying to get my post count up to Dru-like levels.) Quote
bigwalling Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Distel will drop to a new low and enchant holds to complete his redpoint list. Quote
EWolfe Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 I hope to take some whippers on his sweet new rope! WooHoo! and a W00tH00t! to boot! Quote
